About this study
The purpose of this study is to identify changes in parenting, relationship, and financial responsibility outcomes among program participants and to identify processes through which the Dads' Club program affects performance outcomes.
Read the detailed description
The Dads' Club program services North County San Diego fathers or paternal caregivers to a child 0-18 years of age, speaking English or Spanish, and being willing to attend the program's core parenting workshop.
The program consists of Parenting and Healthy Relationship Education (10 Core 24/7 workshops covering- 15 hours of education), financial and economic mobility programming, comprehensive case management, and supplemental workshops utilizing the Within My Reach curriculum.
Four research questions will be evaluated:
- What was the magnitude of change in parenting, relationship, and financial responsibility outcomes from program entrance to exit?
- What was the magnitude of change in parenting, relationship, and financial responsibility outcomes from program entrance to six months post-exit?
- How was program dose related to change in parenting, relationships, and financial responsibility from program entrance to six months post-exit?
- How was program support utilization related to change in parenting, relationships, and financial responsibility outcomes from program entrance to exit?
Inclusion in the sample for research questions involving program exit require completion of 80% of the program, defined as completing 8 out of 10 Core 24/7 workshops and a matched pre and post on each question. Inclusion in the sample for research questions involving six month follow-up requires completion of at least 20% of the program, defined as completing two Core 24/7 workshops and a matched pre and post on each question.
